Ego Eram Reputo 2,554 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 Would anyone object if I renamed this thread? @topezia hasn't been around for over six months so I can't ask the original poster. Ideas for thread name (please add yours): "What are you reading?" (seems a more appropriate title for the current content) "Book Reviews" Speak now ......, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sozo 22 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 Don't wait, get it as an ebook! Pay less & save the trees I am getting a Kindle for my birthday... Regarding renaming this thread, I vote for "What are you reading?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

olav.k.m 1 Report post Posted June 7, 2011 Oh, yay. Thank god for ninjas. I have just started reading A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin. Can't say much about it so far but the first book of the series (A Game of Thrones) was really good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyrochild 349 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 I've just started 1984. Next I want to read A Game of Thrones. I've been watching the show and it's excellent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoltBait 3,024 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 I've just started 1984. I really enjoyed that book. I also enjoyed Animal Farm. Have you read that one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyrochild 349 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 I really enjoyed that book. I also enjoyed Animal Farm. Have you read that one? Yeah, I read that one and wrote crappy essays on it in high school I like 1984 quite a bit more, and it seems more relevant, but of course it's been years since I read the other and my memory of it is hazy.

Goonfella 219 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 I used to be an avid bookworm but since I have got the laptop that has stopped. However at the moment I am reading `Sketchup 8 For Dummies' by Aiden Chopra. His videos really helped me learn the program so I bought the book . Shame there are no similar PDN books really.

Ego Eram Reputo 2,554 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 Actually reading Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (Kindle). Hey - it was free! I can't tell you yet if I like it. I'm only 6% into it. I'm finding the language interesting but everything happens so s-l-o-w-l-y. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Namiyoshi 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2011 The best book by far is: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand I suggest you all read it. Don't be afraid by the fact that it is over 1,000 pages. It goes quickly. The day after I read your post, I got assigned Atlas Shrugged as one of my books for Senior thesis. So I have to read this over the summer. Thanks a lot.

Sozo 22 Report post Posted July 21, 2011 Just finished reading A Canticle for Leibowitz. It was pretty good, I can definitely see why it's a sci-fi classic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ego Eram Reputo 2,554 Report post Posted July 22, 2011 I really struggled with that title. It was a chore to read and felt so disjointed. Took at least two attempts to get through it. Enjoying: Consider Phlebas - Iain M Banks. Has the feel of a first novel (perhaps not as polished as his later novels). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
